From my experience, once a junkie, always a junkie.

Not a productive or even fair outlook; that essentially condemns every single person with an addiction to a predetermined fate. Even on my most jaded day, I can't do that. Lots of people break through the chains and live a good life. Really depends on the person they were before, any comorbid mental health problems, and their support system (or lackthereof).

i believe if a person can be helped and is willing to help themselves, they they should get that help. but this is not the case, he was kicked out of the army for meth, was later arrested for attemping to make meth, even after his court hearing i found stuff in my house used to make meth. the guy just doesn't get it, lost cause IMO.

Oh I'm not arguing on behalf of him, just in general.

Best thing you can do is remove yourself from the situation however you have to.

wouldn't it go a long way towards eliminating crime if we simply executed all the drug addicts? theft, muggings, burglary, and *bad mmorpgs would simply vanish!
